Great question! I have an overly complicated setup to deal with this issue.

- Yesterday, I did submit a couple of PRs to fix some of these bugs:
https://github.com/dafny-lang/dafny/pull/1368,
https://github.com/dafny-lang/dafny/pull/1369, and
https://github.com/dafny-lang/dafny/pull/1370. And just now I finished
implementing a patcher that takes as input a list of PRs and applies them
before compiling Dafny
- Some constructs are needed to be disabled temporarily to not trigger
known bugs
- Some other bugs (mostly printing issues) can be temporarily suppressed by
normalizing the outputs before comparing them.

But yes, the situation is not ideal and does slow me down.
